It was potluck time at work, which always means that I get to whip up some cupcakes! I l.o.v.e. making cupcakes. The perfect amount of the cake paired with the perfect amount of frosting, nestled into a cute little paper dish, and garnished to perfection... mmmm.... hands-down my <i>favorite </i>dessert. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Mexican chocolate cake for these peppery, rich gems was borrowed from our once-neighbor and extremely talented ballet dancer/cupcake baker, M.P., over at <a href="http://www.spoonfulof.net/">Spoonful of Sugar</a>. Her creative cupcakes brought a huge smile to my face when she would walk them over to our doorstep and have since inspired my creations. Miss you, M!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The lime frosting was inspired by the little wedges of lime that come served with tacos at most Mexican restaurants. Lime and a spicy kick just <i>go</i> together. The lime cream cheese frosting perfectly compliments the slightly smokey kick from the Mexican chocolate. Mm-m-m.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

June was insane. Positively insane because we had the immense pleasure of photographing four weddings. Negatively insane because our precious little VW Jetta decided it was time for us to pour our finances under its hood ($1200 to be exact - half of its worth).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrIeLPs6KWtTxEyco6CbzlxV7u9rZRRj1rVB-nWf8jY3sIEJ4u7hpTPSiqRDtE1wcISXIGTmSh4NnkkqtUJdx8vY9kpn6TBePdg2kkw1n_n6leeCc6J6VF1TzoL6pENBSWD7xUFN1DSla/s1600/IMG_0376.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrIeLPs6KWtTxEyco6CbzlxV7u9rZRRj1rVB-nWf8jY3sIEJ4u7hpTPSiqRDtE1wcISXIGTmSh4NnkkqtUJdx8vY9kpn6TBePdg2kkw1n_n6leeCc6J6VF1TzoL6pENBSWD7xUFN1DSla/s640/IMG_0376.JPG" width="640" /></a>Refusing to spend another dime on the Jetta, we used Epoxy glue to put the front bumper back on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
But, you know, we survived insane with our heads held high and smiles on our faces. Insane taught us some things about ourselves, such as how when insane comes into <i>my</i> life, Scott takes over and makes me feel like I can do <i>anything - </i>love that man. Insane taught us some things about our marriage, namely that we are still best friends at the end of the day. And insane taught us a thing or two about how to maintain joy amidst her presence.<br />
<br />
. I do .<br />
Scott and I, with the help of our friend Michael, photographed four weddings. Four beautiful, fun, sweet, memorable weddings.<br />
<br />

<br />
And friends, I learned that photographing weddings is a lot of work. You are on your feet for 8+ hours, capturing memories that will happen one time in those individuals lives, directing as needing, and at the end of the day, sitting down for a piece of cake (my favorite part! ;) )<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
But, after all that work, I would and will do it <i>over and over</i> again. I LOVED photographing those weddings! Collectively, we learned SO much about ourselves, about our photography, and about what we can do in the future to make our work better. Thank you, thank you to Amanda, Chiara, Jenna, and Corrie for putting your trust in me and my team and allowing us to capture such a monumental day in your lives :) You each hold a special place in my heart!<br />

. I celebrate .<br />
We have found the time to celebrate this past month, because life should be celebrated and celebrated well with good friends and good food :) We attended an 80s-themed birthday party to celebrate my friends, Kat and Jenny's, birthdays. We rocked out our 80s attire in style!<br />

The 4th of July was a bit different for us this year. We typically celebrate the 4th of July with Scott's big, extended family on their land out in east Texas. But this year, with the 4th of July falling in the middle of the week, we had an urban celebration with our Houston friends! We enjoyed pool-side hotdogs and sugary treats, then a short walk to Allen Park for the fireworks show.<br />

If you remember from my <a href="http://thefreckledkey.blogspot.com/2012/06/since-april-7th.html">last post</a>, Scott and I went blueberry picking and now have approximately 6 lbs. of blueberries sitting in our freezer to use up. Not too bad, considering we started out with 11 lbs...<br />
<br />
We made this cool, fresh, fruity iced tea the day we picked the blueberries and man! What a great finish to a hot and sweaty morning of blueberry picking!<br />
<br />
What you need for a 2-qt. pitcher:<br />
4 cups water, boiling<br />
4 cups water, room temp. OR several handfuls of ice (if you don't have time to refrigerate the tea before serving)<br />
4-5 bags of black tea (we use Lipton)<br />
1/2 cup of sugar<br />
10-12 fresh mint leaves<br />
Pinch of baking soda<br />
2 handfuls of fresh blueberries<br />
<br />
What to do:<br />
Pour the sugar into the bottom of the pitcher.<br />
Place the mint leaves in the pitcher with the sugar and crush with the end of a wooden spoon to release the fragrant oils.<br />
Pour boiling water into the pitcher and place the tea bags in the water to steep for at least 10-20 minutes.<br />
Remove the tea bags and fill the rest of the pitcher with room temperature water (or put enough ice in the pitcher so the liquid reaches the top, if you don't have time to refrigerate the tea prior to serving).<br />
Stir the sugar with a large spoon until it dissolves completely.<br />
Add a pinch of baking soda and stir until dissolved. This will remove the bitter after taste that results from the tannin released from the tea.<br />
Crush the blueberries in your hand to release the juices and place them into the pitcher. Stir until well combined with the tea.<br />
Allow to rest for approximately 10 more minutes.<br />
Serve over ice in big, 1990s era glasses - or Mason jars. Whatever suits your fancy ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy sipping,<br />
<br />

When I first started this blog back in 2009, it was a way for me to let my family and close friends know what Scott and I were up to, with a few recipes and crafts here and there. I posted about things like how we paid off Scott's college debt, our picnics in the living room when it was raining, and growing tomatoes. Well, I don't remember the last time I blogged about just <i>life</i>. When Scott and I started our photography business and watched it grow before our eyes (faster than I EVER could have imagined), I honestly just neglected blogging about "life" because I didn't feel like I had much to say about it - other than taking pictures of people and Scott being in studio for 80+ hours a week....<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
But you know, that <i>is</i> life. We can choose to lull through the mundane, or we can choose to make every moment an experience. And that's what I intend to do. To live more intentionally. To live life more aware of what is going on around me, to really embrace what life happens to be in that moment. Even if I am just washing dishes. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Now don't get me wrong, a huge part of what Scott and I find joy in is photography, cooking, baking, and investing time in our hobbies. So there will still be "recipe" posts and "craft" posts, but I hope to fill the in-between with tid-bits of the everyday.</div>

Scott and I have had the pleasure of spending good quality time with our families the past few months, and taking little trips here-and-there on the weekends with friends. </div>

We went to Austin, TX, at the end of April to celebrate our dear friend, Kate's, birthday. She and her husband found an amazing townhouse right next to Barton Springs that 6 of us had the pleasure of renting for the weekend. We drank wine on the back porch, swam in Barton Springs, went on a hike in Zilker Park, and ate great food. All things wonderful :)</div>

I have been hugely blessed by the girls in my small group. Scott and I joined a smaller small group back in August, and just in the last few months the girls have been making more of an effort to spend intentional time together. It all started with a group thrifting excursion in The Heights back in April! We ended the afternoon with gelato :P</div>

May brought my first vacation as a working woman! And the first Huddleston Family vacation in MANY years. After my brother, Jim, graduated from Abilene Christian University (with a 4.0 and highest honors, I might add :) Proud sister, I am! ), my family (8 in all!) piled into a 15 passenger van and headed West for a week in Colorado! </div>

We used about 1/2 a pound to make homemade kolaches with blueberry filling, and another 1/2 a pound to make blueberry mint iced tea (recipe to come!!). The other 10 pounds.... they are currently in our freezer. I still have nightmares of blueberries filling our apartment from floor to ceiling... I am forced to swim my way through the blue mass...getting blueberry guts between my toes... </div>

Since May 29th, Scott has been working away at his summer internship at an architecture firm downtown. He really likes working in downtown, and is particularly enjoying this firm. He is currently working on building a model out of LEGOs. Yes. <i>LEGOs</i>. I will say that neither I nor he can complain about making over minimum wage playing with Legos.</div>

</div>This is yet another <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/">Smitten Kitchen</a> creation. I adore Smitten Kitchen - I am <i>smitten</i> with Smitten Kitchen (sorry, I had to). Her recipes are so <i>doable </i>and ALWAYS delicious! Her cookbook comes out this Fall and you can bet I am pre-ordering that baby!<br />
<br />
I made this for breakfast for myself a few weeks ago and boy, it hit the spot! This would be perfect for brunch, or even an afternoon munch. The yolk from the egg creates a perfect sauce for the salty, crunchy cheese-sprinkled toasts... yum!<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
16 sourdough toast fingers, 1/2" thick<br />
4 Tbls. butter, melted<br />
1 tsp. dijon mustard<br />
salt<br />
pepper<br />
1/3 c. finely grated Gruyere cheese<br />
2 Tbls. finely grated Romano cheese (or parmesan)<br />
1 Tbls. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley<br />
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme<br />
<br />
What to do:<br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.<br />
Place bread cubes in a large, shallow bowl.<br />
Whisk together mustard and butter and drizzle over the top of the bread.<br />
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cheeses, and herbs.<br />
Toss to coat.<br />
Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray and scatter the bread cubes on the sheet.<br />
Bake until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
Serve with soft-boiled eggs (you can find instructions on how to do this on the internet - just use Google!), making sure to soak up every last bit of yolk into that crispy toast!<br />
<br />

Scott and I have recently signed up for <a href="https://farmhousedelivery.com/">Farmhouse Delivery</a>, a farm-to-home produce delivery service that brings fresh, organic produce to your doorstep from farmers within 120 miles of Houston. Our first delivery was last week and it was chalk-full of green! In our bundle this week: kale, carrots, onions, romaine lettuce, arugula, beets, oranges, and brussel sprouts... yum :)<br />
<br />
Scott, though, does not like kale, and I have a love/hate relationship with arugula, so I ventured over to the <a href="https://farmhousedelivery.com/blog/">Farmhouse Delivery blog</a> for recipe inspiration using the produce we were given. When I read "Kale Pesto", I was immediately intrigued, as I have only ever made pesto from basil - you know, the traditional way.<br />
<br />
Well, this kale pesto served over whole grain pasta, sprinkled with toasted pine nuts and parmesan cheese was nutty, slightly salty, and <i>creamy</i>...<br />
<br />
So, if you, like Scott, are a kale-hater, then making this kale pesto is a must. I know it won Scott over (at least in pesto-form...)!<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
1 bunch kale, washed and leaves torn off of stem<br />
1/4 c. pine nuts, lightly toasted<br />
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced<br />
1/4 c. grated parmesan, plus more for serving<br />
1/2 c. olive oil<br />
salt & pepper<br />
1 package pasta of your choosing (we used thin spaghetti, and the original recipe called for paparadelle)<br />
<br />
What to do:<br />
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.<br />
Plunge kale leaves into the water, then immediately remove with tongs and place in an ice bath to cease cooking.<br />
Drain in a colander, then place on paper towels to absorb extra moisture.<br />
Place in the bowl of a food processor with the garlic, parmesan, and all but 2 Tbls. of the pine nuts.<br />
Add a generous pinch of salt and pulse briefly to combine and chop.<br />
With the food processor running, drizzle in the olive oil until the kale is minced and all ingredients are well combined, creating a loose, creamy texture for the pesto.<br />
Meanwhile, cook and drain the pasta, reserved ~1 c. of the water.<br />
Place pasta in a large bowl and add the pesto, tossing to combine.<br />
Top each individual serving with a sprinkle of pine nuts and grated parmesan.<br />
<br />
Kale in my teeth,<br />

I was so honored and thrilled to serve as Matron of Honor and photographer for the event. It was my first wedding to photograph, and with the help of my amazing husband and wonderful mother (who served as photographers during the ceremony), it was a huge success! I am still in the process of editing the 529 total images (yikes!), but the pictures are beautiful and I will post them on my photography blog hopefully sometime this week :)<br />
<br />
As for the photo-a-day... I missed a couple days here and there, as-per-usual, but here are the next series of photos:<br />

Over a month since my last "Photo a Day" post... Have no fear, though, I have been taking pictures!

<br />
So, here they are! ---- raw, unedited, straight-out-of-camera (SOOC) (how redundant can I be...?) photographs!<br />

Well, this hasn't been the healthiest weekend of breakfast foods for the Keys... But, boy! It's been a delicious weekend of breakfasts. We kick-started the weekend with <a href="http://thefreckledkey.blogspot.com/2012/01/01272012-buttermilk-biscuits.html">homemade buttermilk biscuits</a> and <a href="http://thefreckledkey.blogspot.com/2012/01/sausage-gravy-for-those-buttermilk.html">sausage gravy</a>, then opened our Sunday morning with these tasty cake doughnuts from the blog <a href="http://spoonforkbacon.com/">Spoon Fork Bacon</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis0aGsHRwUa8IE-PrOkjsdm8qAwgAofkp4tIa5TT3I8KeP2WDhpSxD2NPsF8BPMH6Ueuv7MPpFc6TIpC59yQW2TrsmUc3junTm8zZu6Gte9OSaOQalQ4c4EmBztvADXmYCZY3B_mFWus_N/s1600/_MG_1590.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis0aGsHRwUa8IE-PrOkjsdm8qAwgAofkp4tIa5TT3I8KeP2WDhpSxD2NPsF8BPMH6Ueuv7MPpFc6TIpC59yQW2TrsmUc3junTm8zZu6Gte9OSaOQalQ4c4EmBztvADXmYCZY3B_mFWus_N/s640/_MG_1590.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
These doughnuts do not require yeast, which means no need for rising the dough, making them a fairly fast dough-based treat. They are lightly crisp on the outside, soft and cakey on the inside, and perfectly coated with a simple powdered sugar glaze...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeJyTLAZCwlv454g17VPYkH3FACMgAXSNZPI9fii6Ui7jnqVsa9Vb9k1j1dbFKxstBdxwcfgtOxu9V3F8IQkMejuA6HuK945DUryegH7V0Pg8kgZaTBzTDAXNnhLe_2VJ0d6vVVG1ygcB/s1600/_MG_1593.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeJyTLAZCwlv454g17VPYkH3FACMgAXSNZPI9fii6Ui7jnqVsa9Vb9k1j1dbFKxstBdxwcfgtOxu9V3F8IQkMejuA6HuK945DUryegH7V0Pg8kgZaTBzTDAXNnhLe_2VJ0d6vVVG1ygcB/s640/_MG_1593.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a><br />

1 3/4 c. + 2 T. flour<br />
1 T. baking powder<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
1 tsp. cinnamon<br />
1/2 c. whole milk (I needed about 1-2 T. more)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>.for the glaze.<br />
1 c. powdered sugar<br />
2-4 T. heavy cream, depending on the consistency you want<br />
1/2 tsp. vanilla<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhfZlBSAEfl7umcu-fU33XNoXTcsXxU-7qfRzr1FtBHTWzs85STP4NBqVSohoyuKsJ4d0hartHc3Mp_Gs1JPyJMaxttcKyC4gZUv6TGMGVfbIs4_hc7zcuiKiFlCibpWakFGRWAH-HvWz/s1600/_MG_1595.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhfZlBSAEfl7umcu-fU33XNoXTcsXxU-7qfRzr1FtBHTWzs85STP4NBqVSohoyuKsJ4d0hartHc3Mp_Gs1JPyJMaxttcKyC4gZUv6TGMGVfbIs4_hc7zcuiKiFlCibpWakFGRWAH-HvWz/s640/_MG_1595.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br />
What to do:<br />
.Preheat the oil to 365 degrees<br />
.Whisk together the shortening, egg yolk, and sugar until well combined<br />
.In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon<br />
.Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the egg mixture until the dough has just formed<br />
.Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes<br />
.Roll the dough out to a 1/2" disc and, using a 2" round cutter, cut out the doughnuts<br />
.Use a 1/2" round cutter (I used the lid to my hairspray...) to cut out the doughnut holes<br />
.Carefully drop 3-4 doughnuts into the oil and fry until the edges begin to turn golden, then flip and continue frying until the whole doughnut is a deep golden brown color, about 2 minutes total.<br />
.Drain on a paper towel and repeat the process until all doughnuts and doughnut holes have been fried<br />
.Dip each doughnut into the glaze, then gently press them into your desired garnish until it adheres to the glaze<br />
<br />
Serve with a tall glass of milk!<br />

<br />
What you need:<br />
1 lb. pork sausage<br />
1/4 c. finely chopped yellow onion<br />
6 T. all-purpose flour<br />
4 c. whole milk<br />
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning<br />
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg<br />
1/4 tsp. salt<br />
1-2 dashes Worcestershire sauce<br />
1-2 dashes Tabasco sauce (I omitted this because I am a wimp...)<br />
1-2 T. butter, or bacon grease<br />
<br />
What to do:<br />
Preheat a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat<br />
Crumble the sausage into the pan and let it brown for 1-2 minutes, then turn stove down to medium heat and sprinkle the flour over the sausage<br />
Stir in the flour and cook for 6-8 minutes, until the mixture starts bubbling and turns golden brown<br />
Stir in seasonings and cook for 1 minute<br />
Slowly add the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thickened (about 15 minutes)<br />
<br />
Pour <i>lavishly</i> over <a href="http://thefreckledkey.blogspot.com/2012/01/01272012-buttermilk-biscuits.html">buttermilk biscuits</a> and consume right away!<br />

I hate to admit this, but I did not take any pictures from 01.17 through 01.21 (just 4 days!) because I came down with the flu on the night of the 18th... I was down for the count until that next Monday, and even then not up to par. But! I had a<a href="http://thefreckledkeyphotography.blogspot.com/2012/01/harper-newborn-012012.html"> lovely newborn session</a> on the 22nd, which MORE than makes up for the 4 photos that I missed during that time, and makes up for the 4 more days of photos I missed since then due to editing and preparing their disc...<br />
<br />
Today, though, I am back in full-swing (hopefully, fingers crossed) with my photo-a-day, self-given assignment and, a little bonus, this one comes with a recipe!<br />
<br />
Since I started working only 4 days a week (Fridays off!!), Scott and I have been so blessed to have Friday mornings to spend together. We have made it a tradition to <strike>sleep in</strike> wake up around 8:00, make a yummy breakfast and coffee, and play a few rounds of backgammon before Scott heads off to school for the day.<br />
<br />
This Friday morning, homemade southern buttermilk biscuits! Yum! I also have a recipe for sausage gravy that I will post next, so stay tuned for that!<br />
<br />
The KEY to <i>light, fluffy, buttery </i>biscuits is MINIMAL HANDLING. Do NOT over knead your dough! This will result in tough, chewy biscuits (yuck.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSkllEv8DAadVGbU4qYcIQ4Q34qqheckHL0uCBxdzrUq6X5qulVHNc-ouCUx3Cms8dmSd_jMQlJ4mDc0AryrrUMTbFPY_HBjChPOgODOtW1l1Bo7xqG2O73gydJGtdPxSPWhnhbufBHXI/s1600/_MG_1560.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSkllEv8DAadVGbU4qYcIQ4Q34qqheckHL0uCBxdzrUq6X5qulVHNc-ouCUx3Cms8dmSd_jMQlJ4mDc0AryrrUMTbFPY_HBjChPOgODOtW1l1Bo7xqG2O73gydJGtdPxSPWhnhbufBHXI/s640/_MG_1560.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>This recipe comes from Alton Brown on foodnetwork.com<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
2 c. flour<br />
4 tsp. baking powder<br />
1/4 tsp. baking soda<br />
3/4 tsp. salt<br />
2 T. butter, cold<br />
2 T. shortening<br />
1 c. buttermilk, chilled<br />
<br />
What to do:<br />
Preheat oven to 450<br />
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt<br />
Using a fork, work butter and shortening into the flour mixture. Work quickly, as you don't want the fats to melt. The mixture will be crumbly.<br />
Make a well in the flour mixture with your hands and pour in the buttermilk<br />
Stir with a spoon until <i>just</i> combined; do not over mix. The dough will be very sticky.<br />
Turn dough out onto a floured surface, dust the top with a bit of flour, and gently fold the dough over itself 5-6 times<br />
Press into a 1/2-1 inch thick disc<br />
Cut out biscuits using a 2" biscuit cutter, making sure to push <i>straight down and straight out - </i>do NOT twist the cutter, as this will prevent your biscuits from rising properly!<br />
Place biscuits on a baking sheet so that they just touch<br />
Reform scrap dough, working as minimally as possible, and continue cutting until all dough is used<br />
Bake until biscuits are tall and lightly golden on top, 15-20 minutes (mine were done in 15).<br />
<br />
Serve with butter & honey, or with sausage gravy (recipe to come!)<br />

To give up the mystery of the husband guest post, Scott was in southeastern Arizona (mostly Tucson). This shot is from a neat little town called Bisbee, about a stone's throw from Mexico and over a mile high in elevation.<br />

<br />
One New Years resolution I have made for myself is to take 1 photo a day. Just 1. I'm hoping it will encourage me to just take pictures, because we all know that practice makes perfect :)<br />
<br />
I will be posting my daily photo here, on the blog. For the sake of time, I will not edit the photos from the daily photo challenge. The photos you will be seeing will be raw, unedited, straight-out-of-the-camera shots. They will cover a variety of subjects, I'm sure, from the monotonous day-to-day to the more beautiful, well-composed.<br />
<br />
So, I bring you Image 1 and Image 2 for 2012...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Every year, the extended Key Family (about 40 people total) gets together in small-town east Texas for a BIG lunch/dinner, Chinese gift exchange, four-wheeler rides, rifle shooting.... and more eating. But mostly, it's a day full of smiles, joy, and laughter. Lots of laughter. Big, billowing, laughter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X9r--iSsHrc/Tv_gZHjFbGI/AAAAAAAADQE/t7Qm4JkCUcU/s1600/_MG_0152.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
